[private] If I can't be better than them, I'll become much worse

[Gale]

Gale this is going to break me clean in two -- this is going to bring me close to you The satisfaction in the other’s snake-like eyes is irksome, and Gale scowls in response. It has not been a pleasure, says the wrinkled line of his navy brow, but he doesn’t speak aloud. Instead, there is a sharp and sudden scent of blood in the air, and Gale vanishes into a cloud of smoke that’s carried away on the wind. He will pay for that magic later, probably in the form of a day-long migraine. He’s found that he can tear himself apart for Power, and in some rare situations the pain is worth it. This had been one such time, to remind the cocky Southern prince of exactly what he is dealing with. It will be good to have the Waterfall here in Hyaline, Gale thinks. The waters can heal anything, and the still lake could use a good stirring up.
